The vent termination of a direct vent application must
terminate at least 12” from any opening through which
ue gases may enter a building (door, window, or gravity
air inlet).
The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically through
a roof must terminate at least 12” above the roof line (or
the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12” from any
vertical wall (including any anticipated snow build up).
A vent termination shall not terminate over public
walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor
could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental
to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other
equipment.
The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent
application should not terminate in an area which is
frequently dusty or dirty.
Vent & combustion air pipes may terminate vertically
through a roof, or horizontally through an outside wall.
The combustion air intake and vent pipe terminations
must be in the same atmospheric pressure zone. Vertical
vent pipe terminations should be as shown in gure 14.
The penetration of pipes through the roof must be sealed
water tight with proper ashing such as is used with a
plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent pipe terminations should be as shown in
the following gures. To secure the pipe passing through
the wall and prohibit damage to piping connections, a
coupling should be installed on either side of the wall and
solvent cemented to a length of pipe connecting the two
couplings. The length of pipe should be the wall thickness
plus the depth of the socket ttings to be installed on the
inside and outside of the wall. The wall penetration should
be sealed with silicone caulking material.
